'Tree-squeak: The Old Growth Gum' is a fun and engaging children's picture book highlighting the diversity of wildlife that reside in big old gum trees in Australia. It is a rhymic and melodic read with watercolour illustrations and rhyming quizzes for the children to answer. Bob Brown (prominent Environmentalist) wrote, "The children will love it, the parental reader can't help but be drawn in too. This is the magic of such a good, true story: it is powerful! Robyn O'Neill's Tree Squeak is that best of all literary concoctions - a story which does not thunder but, while offering contentment, also stirs hope for the future. In these beautiful words and illustrations is the promise that Australia's native trees and wildlife will be better respected, better protected, by the next generation. A special gift for every wide-eyed youngster."
